What transgressors do - Bro Samuel Howell 7-30-2023

God, and I'm certainly glad for the spirit of the Lord that we felt

already got a burden on my heart. Like the Nathaniel said, I do

have something burning. I was hoping the hold of ghost would go ahead and

have his way. He can do more in half a second than what we

can do in an eternity. His ways are higher than ours. We certainly

do miss our pastor, and we're looking forward to their return and looking forward

to hear it in preach. But you can always go listen to him on

spreaker as well. Don't ever forget those servants. They're there for a reason.

They're not there just to be stored. They're there for that reason,

but they're also there to go back and to draw from again. We'll be

looking. In Galatians chapter two, verse eighteen. Galatians Chapter two and eighteen,

I am thankful for the opportunity to preach here and my pastor's pull fit.

Don't take it lightly. It's honor to be able to preach for this

forefeit you have it, shout I missed my pastor. Yeah, we certainly

do right here. In Galatians two and eighteen, it says four if I

build again the things I would the while I build again the things which I

destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Let's read that again, four or

five, build again the things which I destroyed. I make myself a transgressor.

Heavenly Father like to preach for I won't be borne for a little while.

On what transgressors do. Just a quick definition of the word transgressor.

A transgressor it's one who violates a commandment or a law. And two it's

one who passes a boundary, or goes over a limit and goes past the

point of no return. How many believe that limits are a good thing to

having a life. We're always there for a reason. They're not just there

to hinder us, but they're there to keep us safe. I believe they're

a good thing to have. Some of it might not, but they keep

us on the right path. They keep us on the right road. We're

all too familiar with the speed limit sign. We know if we violate that

sign and that warning, will have to pay the consequences for our wrongdoing.

But most of all, we must obey the laws of the land as long

as they're in agreement with God's laws. And we see a lot of the

world is changing today quickly to where none of the laws are in agreement with

God, but they expect us to be in agreement with their laws. Like

you see the homosexuals and the gays, all of them. That's legal,

But according to the Bible it's not. It's a sin. God's laws on

the most important laws, and we're to follow those laws word for word.

Buy the book everything that's in there, and if we don't, then we're

well on our way to health. We don't get to pick and choose what

laws fit our low style, our lost style best. You must do what

he says with without any questions. Now that we have kind of a crass

or what a transgressor is the one who goes back they believe something didn't they

kind of change their mind. I want to read that again right here says

for if I build again the things I wants to destroyed, I make myself

a law breaker. I made myself push the limits, I made myself go

pass the point of almost no return. I make myself a transgressor. Now,

why would anyone want to go back after living a life saved by grace

to build back the thing that they want destroyed? The things that once had

them bound, the things that once had their victory, the thing that once

had their joy. Why would you choose to go back to that? That's

the life that is not worth living if you're not saved. But even if

you're not saved, suicide it's not an option you have to live no matter

why. The things the trust or transparent to someone who loses, oh,

hope pretty much and give up on things. I wouldn't give up on anything

that the Lord has done for me to what he's gonna do. How Why

would you go back to the things that calls you to lose sleep at night,

the things that has you scared because you know you're not right with gods?

Have your founders delf building the house of sin again? Have you found

yourself lusting after the things of the world once more? Why go back to

the torments? Why is it? What is it that about it that has

to be so fascinating about your road sin? Is there nothing in my There

is nothing in my path that satisfies me the way my God does. The

devil isn't reminding you of a regret that you had. He isn't reminding of

the sickness that you had, isn't reminding you of the stame of all he's

doing is making you see the real, quick, good feeling moment for God

a second, that all he's doing becaud letting you remember all that. How

can you forget the long lonely nights when you had no one to talk to,

when you had no one to tell your problems too? This is the

life that you want to live again. You couldn't pay me all the money

in the world to give up the peace that I have a fine sleeping night,

or give up the joy that I have now, or to give up

the Holy Gos. Nothing feels an empty hole in my soul like the Holy

old does. Don't build again the old gail that had you bound, that

had your happiness, that had your piece, that had your comforts, While

build again the things you wants to destroy it how you're trying to figure out

while you're fighting with your old sins again? Right here in James fourteen four

and seventeen that says, therefore to him that knoweth to do good and do

it with did not to him and a sin. If you're not reading your

Bible and praying every day like you need to, that's the sin. You'll

find yourself fall and you'll find yourself transgressive. You'll realize the delis start.

You'll plant the same seeds in your mind once again. You'll find yourself struggling.

You'll find yourself longing for some hope, but you won't find nothing.

You'll be walking around in the dark room, all by yourself, dying.

Are your Lord? He didn't leave you, you left heill holl Serving God

is a good thing. You're not serving God. It's a sins. We

may figure you may trying to figure out. You may say, well,

I don't know what's considered good, and I don't know what's considered bad.

Don't forget the Bible. That's what's gonna tell you what's good, and that's

gonna tell you what's bad. We live a holy life. That's a good

thing. You're not living a life of holiness. You're living a life of

sin. Them have you found yourself not reading and praying every morning and every

day? If so, you are building again the things of your past.

You're letting the roots begin to take plan again. The weaves are starting to

grow in your garden. By not reading and praying, you're planting the seize

the sin, and they can began to take root in your life once more,

as pride began to grow again, as he began to grow again,

as us begin to gorow again. That's jealousy began to grow again. Don't

let your sins take brood again. Hallelujah, it's not worth it. God

right here in relation six verses seven and eight, be not to see.

God is not my marked for what's or roman. So it shall he also

reap. For he that sow us to his flesh shall reap of the flesh.

But he that sow us to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap

everlasting life. Right there, you can either read things of the flesh,

which is pretty much right there is signing your death certificate, no life.

But if you're reap to the good things of Christ, if you begin to

sow the seeds of God, if you begin to do good things to the

Lord and praise to Him and noting to magnify yourself, then you'll begin to

reap eternal alive. How if you begin to solve the old scenes of the

old seeds of your past, you'll find yourself dealing with the same thing that

you beg God to deliver you from why plan again the things you wants to

destroy it? If you plan it again, I'm telling you, it's gonna

come back ten times worse than the first time. You may think you're only

gonna mess around with it for only a minute, but then will take you

farther than you want to go. Minutes turned to hours and hours into days,

of days into weeks, and before you know it, you haven't been

to church in years, and you'll find your garden full of the plant that

sin again because you got to messing around with the seeds of sin that you

shouldn't been messing with. God, don't go back. Stop messing with the

idea of it. That's way, will you? If you're you're unhappy,

If you're unhappy in this and serving God, then you might want to repray

through. Because when I pray through, I've never been unhappy since sin.

I've got a piece that passed us all understanding. God has been good to

us. Oh ya. If things didn't work back, then, what makes

you think it's going to be different this time? You back up and say

I'm gonna go down the road of drugs again, you'll find yourself at the

same dead end you say I'm gonna start ainking from the bottle again. You'll

find yourself at the same lonely out in the road where there's no way around.

And then you'll look behind you and the devil's cowed up behind you,

closing in the gap, saying where you're gonna go? I got you this

time. Get back into the word, get back into prayer, get back

into baskets. Don't be transgressive. Don't be going back on your promise that

God said he never leave you nor forsake you. Then you used to do

the same, just to never leave one for take him, Holy God.

Don't be a transgressive. Don't be a sin sober we go to him after

everything that he's done for us, to not rebuild the things that he destroyed.

I couldn't destroy the sin that had me bound, brother Jessey, We

couldn't destroy it. But by God's help, by God's grace, he came

in and kick the laws down and had its belt. Oh yeah, yeah.

To break the law of God is to being rebellious. To be rebellious

if your pastor tells you to do something and to break that, that's the

sin. Rebellion is a sin. To not obey your pastor is a sin

phrase. God, let us stay on topic here, Alice, that Louisah,

that the holy ghost rise up in you again. Let him begin to

plow the roots, Let him begin to tear down the things that are trying

to take root again. If you let him, he'll take it. He'll

take your sin again. He'll make you a hole once more. If you're

back up, you may think it'll just be for a minute. But the

devil don't play for minutes. He plays for keiths. He may find that

you when you come back to it, you'll be in the worst shape that

you than you were when you left. I don't mind an imagine being worse

than what I was. I can't afford to go back. I was already

worse. I was already terrible, And to be worse, And that my

God, I'm mercy prison and Matthew twelve and forty four and forty five and

says, then says he, I will return into my house from whence I

come, And when he has come forth, come find it. He come

findeth an empty, swept and garnished, didn't goeth he and take take with

him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they entered in and dwelled,

dwell there, and the last state of a man was worse and even

than the first, even so shall be to this wicked generation. There we

read. That's a pretty scary thought right there, and it's Jesus speaking right

there'son read letters. I can't imagine, like I said, I can't

even I don't even want to think about being seven times worse than what I

was. And then we oh, guess how I can't imagine because I remember

how bad I was. I remember how scared I was. I remembered how

tormented I was. Knowing that the trumpet was to sound, I wouldn't be

leaving the ground. I'd be stuck there in bed until my time come to

hell. Yeah, that means if you go out, when you come back,

when you come back in, you'll have to fight seven times harder.

You're gonna have to pray seven times harder. You might have to read seven

more times in one day. I've just thought out instances. If you're seven

times worse, you gotta do something to compensate that. You have to fight

harder than you did the first time. It won't be easier because the Devil's

gonna know your one platt and he's got to do everything in his power sticking

you from getting it again. I want everyone, real quick to try and

imagine your troubles seven times worse than they are right now. If you have

any troubles and bills do or anything like? Is that what you really want?

Is that the life you want to live? Feeling lonely? You like

feeling hopeless? Do you like knowing you're on your way to hell? What

is it about your path that you love so much that you are willing to

lose your peace, your happiness, your joy? Why would you get that

up? Go ahead, planting seas again, Go ahead build the things that

you destroyed us. Your family will lose confidence in you. Your kids will

lose confidence in you. They won't look up to you anymore because they don't

know. You're in the same state that theory and you're in the same state

that there is. Why would they go to you for him? Why would't

they come back to you? Expected you to get a hold of God If

you're in the same state that there is, how, oh my God,

if you're transgressing, you know what you need to do? All of us

do anyone who transgressed transgresses, they know the right way back out because that's

the road they took. You just make it one eighty and walk back out.

I think it's the one eighty. I don't know. That's all you

gotta do. And Jesus will be meeting He'll be standing right there at the

end of the road when you get back. That's just that difficult. You

know what to do. Just turn around. You know how to get your

sins under the blood again the same way you did the first time. You

must resist, not welcome, and with an arm open wide saying come to

me, I'm here to accept you. That's the way. That's why you're

fighting your old sins again, because you're not fighting against him. You're just

laying there saying, call it on me. And then you're not getting that

he's come back in your mind. He begins to plant it in there again.

We have read this, and we've heard this many times. I've heard

it all my life, and I've even living by it now. But when

the devil comes to me again trying to plant the seeds in me and plant

them in my mind, he's trying to build again the things that I by

God's health, health destroy trying to make it make sin look good again.

This is how you fight back. You just start by saying, I plead

the blood of Jesus. By just saying the name of Jesus send enough power

to send me back running where he comes. You began to hear the down

to the root breaking. You begin to hear the downs of the law's falling.

Somebody call on Jesus. Somebody's shout on Jesus's name. If you began

to call stankle begin to fall. If you began to call thankle, begin

to fall. Helly good. It's that simple calling on Jesus. Deliverance falls

calling on Jesus. Victory falls calling on Jesus, the blood Father. The

doc said, balls, don't forget to call on Jesus. One little sneak

viture then, and he calls you a glimpse of Heaven, one little sippers,

And he told you the king from eating at the Master's table. Helle.

Hello. The taste of the thing to this world is to spend God's

face after what He's done for you. One little pump on a cigarette again,

that all it takes. You can't kids Heaven, good bye, and

you can say, how oh hell, because that all it takes one little

than a little levin living it the whole up. One little thing turns the

whole heart black helly let's standing. Don't transgress. Don't transgress the regrets to

your own blads. If you find yourself looking back or wanting to go back,

think of Lot's wife. That's someone who regretted looking back. That's someone

who realized that they should have paid attention to what the angel was saying.

Oh yad, think about him, realize just how bad you really were.

The devil isn't gonna remind you of all the pain that you've felt. He's

ain't gonna remind you of this split second joy that you might have had.

He's gonna try and fear your conscience to the point where you you forget about

Jesus. All you can focus on us. I got to have this again.

We were sitting at lunch the other day, believe, but the Philip

was there. This broke my heart. One of the man, one of

the guys, says, I'm living my life right now. He said,

I'm miserable. I'm miserable, but I'm living. If you're miserable, then

you're not living. Living a life that's unmiserable. Is living living a life

to God? Is living? Yeah, all he ain't. The devil isn't

gonna remind you the law and lonely nights that you had, crying yourself to

sleep, just trying to find something to give you peace. You can turn

music on. I've tried it. Torment, torment, it's all he can

turn preaching on. You can turn music on. It don't work. Don't

forget that where you come from, that's a life that no one wants to

turn to. You won't find it out there. You'll find it at these

altars. That's where you'll find it. You'll you'll find your first love again.

At these altars. You'll find that seal that that was impregnated and you're

burning by the holy ghost for more of God. Don't replant your old sins,

don't build them up again. Don't plant a garden full of under of

jealousy and lust and pride. Get back to loving to read the Bible,

Get back to loving to read and pray and fast and just spend time in

prayer. I understand it's easy to get busy and just say I don't have

time to pray. But that's a sin. I found myself falling into that

same trap even just since I got the hole a ghost. I'll be honest

with you. The devil kind of puts in your mind you don't got time.

You gotta get up early. You need to get up and go.

You're gonna be late for work. Then your employer is gonna get mad.

I'd rather my employer be mad at me than to be sinning and go on

my way to hell. But if you get up early in the morning,

you'll have time. God made time for you. Why do not made time

for him? It very well couldn't be someone in here that's filled with the

Holy Ghost that's struggling with the idea of doing it again. Maybe not.

He sees the devil sees to change in your life, and he sees that

you're no longer bounding, and he sees that you're that you're no longer planning

seeds of sin, that you're doing it work for God. He's he's jealous

as the school lesson this morning's envious you. By God's help, he won't

get us all in of you. There anyone here that would be honest with

yourself that won't be so so deceived that you deceived your own self and say

it's not me, I'm not struggling with anything. A lot of times the

ones that say that the most and the loudest are the ones that are struggling

the most because they're trying to hide behind their own lives and they're they're conceiving

themselves. Does anyone want to come and praise that without showing the Lord that

I need help myself. They're not one o God that's all coming. Pray

praying someone if you feel land, if it doesn't hit you where it needs

to, the make God help you. I hope it's someone that I may

preached to go hide in the crowd, in the midst of the people,

as people want to pray. Be honest with God. Don't just go see

that another another ult you're saying, it's another chance for me to hide behind

my elbow. Need it this time? Don't transgress, don't regress, Oh

my God, what transgressess do is not change Lord? Change me? Low

going, stay the same who I want to be my Lord to my life,

my life, Oh life. She wanted to be. Pase change me,
